The Global Drinker — World Bar Guide
Arca
Tulum, Mexico
A restaurant-bar hybrid built around the trees of Tulum's jungle beach, charting the Yucatán Peninsula's microseasons in food and drink. Big regional flavours rule: pulque and gin meet in the Green Garden beneath droplets of cinnamon-leaf oil, while recado negro and Yucatecan Melipona honey anchor the cocktail list.
